A 19-year-old man was arrested and remains in police custody
A man has been arrested after police received reports of a suspected firearm in a Nottinghamshire town. Officers were called to Midworth Street, Mansfield , at around 11.50am this morning after receiving reports of a man entering a shop with a firearm in his waistband.
Firearms officers attended the scene, arrested a suspect and seized an imitation firearm, understood to be a BB gun. A 19-year-old man was detained on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence. He remains in police custody. Sergeant Ryan Lewis, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “As the public should be able to expect, our officers will always take immediate and robust action whenever we receive reports of a suspected firearm or knife being seen.“This incident should serve as a warning to anyone who carries a weapon, and that includes those who choose to carry an imitation firearm, that we will treat reports of this nature extremely seriously to help keep people safe.
“We have arrested a suspect as part of this investigation, but our enquiries remain ongoing, so we’d ask anyone who has any information that could assist us to get in touch with the police on 101, quoting incident 266 of 25 July 2024, or by calling Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
